What’s new? For 2026, the Forester carries over its proven 2.5-liter BOXER engine with 180 horsepower, paired with Subaru’s Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive as standard. Subaru has fine-tuned ride comfort and handling, while updating its EyeSight Driver Assist system to be more responsive in a wider range of conditions. The Forester also continues to emphasize practicality, with spacious seating for five and one of the largest cargo areas in its class.
But the biggest talking point is pricing. Subaru has kept the Forester within reach for US buyers while offering a wide range of trims to suit different lifestyles.

The Wilderness trim continues to be a highlight, designed for adventure seekers who want extra ground clearance, all-terrain tires, and a more rugged look straight from the factory. For drivers who want maximum luxury and tech, the Touring trim tops the range with leather upholstery, a Harman Kardon sound system, and a larger touchscreen interface.
With its blend of affordability, capability, and safety, the 2026 Subaru Forester remains a strong contender in the competitive compact SUV segment. Whether you’re looking for a reliable family car, a comfortable commuter, or a trail-ready weekend explorer, Subaru has kept the Forester lineup attractive and competitive for US buyers.
